Gigapower never up to speed

Download speed for my Gigapower has never exceeded 650mbps, upload speed is also the same around this range. My connection is wired with cat5e (directly connected to Gateway). I rebooted the gateway as instructed in the troubleshooting but nothing seems to improve the speed. What is the problem?

I have issues with this as well. I'd test a couple things. 

 

use different speedtest.net servers. try the google fiber speed test. try other providers speed test. 

 

the way I understand, a lot of speed test servers may not have enough bandwidth to push back to you through the current routes. I like to assume that fiber connections between citites(ISP's mainly) are still taking time and until those routes are completed, 950mbps speeds are going to be very dependent on what server you are testing against. 

 

can anyone comfirm any of this? or am I talking whacko nuts lol

@eolatw what @Wallaby32 stated is completely correct. Some servers cannot actually give you the proper results. Try some other test sites, if there is still issues call into customer care and we can look into things a bit further.

I've tried with different test sites and the results were very similiar, I'm actually getting in the range of 500mbps for both up and download for most of the time. I guess I have to call the customer care to look into the issue, because it is only delivering 1/2 of the speed as promised.
